Clarify why lazy-loaded component mapping files are properties
files that aren't labeled as such
I haven't really used Camel yet, I'm just reading the manual to familiarize myself with it, as some projects I'll be working with use it.
I noticed that the way you define the lazy-loaded mappings for components uses properties files that aren't labeled as properties files. For instance, to define the mapping for a component named "foo", you place a file named just "foo" in "META-INF/services/org/apache/camel/component", instead of "foo.properties".
I can deal with this, but it just seems odd. Is there any background on why it was done this way?

Sorry if you don't think it answered.
Let me try with other words
Its not a mapping file.
Its not for configuring components.
Its not for end users to use these files.
Its an implementation detail for Camel components that allow Camel to
discover components on the classpath.
The name of the file is the name of the component.

Uh, ok. None of that has anything to do with my question.

Hi
Welcome to the Camel community.
Those files are for Camel component developers. The file is used for
component discovery so Camel can automatic find components from the
classpath.
As a Camel *end user* you should not use those files. Instead if you
want to configure Camel components / routes / endpoints etc you can do
that in many ways. For example using property placeholders which you
can read about here:
